Trent Hills to pay for more Staying Well Road Maps

Trent Hills council came through by agreeing to pay for a second printing of the task force's hugely popular Staying Well Road Map.

The projected cost of $1,400 is about the same as it was for the initial run of 1,000 copies, which were distributed throughout the community within three months of their release. The money will come out of the municipality's 2013 community development and marketing budget.

"We have been receiving very favourable comments and there have been requests for a second printing," task force members Mona Cooper and Jane Crane said in a letter to council. New residents especially "find them very helpful and informative," they said.

Ms. Crane is the general manager at Island Park Retirement Community, which spearheaded the Staying Well Road Map initiative.

The guide was designed to help older people stay active and healthy by identifying 62 locations in Campbellford, Hastings and Warkworth that provide services and programs for seniors in six categories: transportation, culture, social, wellness, nutrition and physical.

"It's a really good pamphlet, I like it," Councillor Rosemary Kelleher-MacLennan told council. "It helps promote all those areas."
